Get link / embed
When opening a Dashboard from its URL, or when embedding it into another tool, you can pass options to control how the Dashboard is displayed.
From the Dashboard’s action menu, select Get link / embed to open the corresponding dialog :
This dialog generates URL’s and code to link or embed the Dashboard.
Options
Select the below options to update the URL and code :
Theme
You may choose to override the Dashboard’s Theme.
Select the desired Theme from the list.
Parameters
You may choose to override the Dashboard’s Parameter’s default values.
Check the Parameters you wish to override, and fill-inf the desired values.
Results
After configuring the desired options, you can Copy the results from the text boxes at the bottom of the dialog :
Server URL
This will display the Dashboard with the same visuals as when normally viewing with Alpana Server’s dashboard viewer.
Embed link
This is a clutter-free version of the dashboard viewer : there is no top bar, no controls, no logo.
This is useful for embedding because the Dashboard will fit better in smaller spaces, and because the controls (like Pin Widget) are usually not meaningful in this context.
Code
This is for embedding inside another web page that uses jQuery.
Embedding Dashboard with different domain
Due to cyber security policies from web browsers, the embeding capability with different domain has some restreints: It must be used with HTTPS – both host site and Alpana.
Some steps has to be executed on the server to make it works :
- Modify web.config file in IIS->Alpana3->Client and delete one line inside it :
![]()
- Go in the administration page -> parameter -> Security Tab and enable this option :
![]()
- Click on save button.
- Clean cookies in client web browsers.
